Sorry dont know much about excel and trying to help a friend. Im using vlookup to try to calculate varrying commission percentages: when $0-100 sold money received is 1% of sale, $101-200 is 2% and so on until $501+ is 5%. The equation is =(VLOOKUP(B3,Sheet2!B3:C7,2,TRUE))*B3
When i try to populate other cells with the equation by dragging is changing the value of the $ cell (B3) but also the cells with the ranges that stay stationary (sheet2!B3:C7). This is a little confusing but some help on how to fix this or a more efficient way of calculating would be helpful.
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Welcome to the board !!

You could maybe try locking the cell reference by hitting F4 one time while placing the cursor in the formula at the B3:C7. It should look like this after you hit F4 (sheet2!$B$3:$C$7) Good Luck.
